Are All Seats Safe?All car seats rated by NHTSA meet Federal Safety Standards & strict crash performance standards. While all rated seats are safe, they do differ in their ease of use in four basic catagories:

There is not a full picture of a child properly restrained in the CRS directly next to sizing information on the labeling. No supplemental sizing information is given on the labels. The carrier-only belt routing path is not labeled. The labels do not explain how to use LATCH.

Evaluation of Instructions

The instruction manual storage location may be difficult to find and use. The warning to avoid placing a rear-facing child restraint in front of an active airbag is buried within a bulleted list.

Securing the Child

The harness clip is not labeled to convey proper placement.

Installation Features

LATCH attachments have buttons to depress for removal. The storage location for the LATCH belt is not obvious and may be overlooked.
